I just bought this item about a week ago and not sure if I might like it or not. I’m using it in my garage with a hitting net and so far don’t like the distance accuracy. Haven’t tried it yet on the range, which will be my next move before deciding whether to keep it or go for something else. Furthermore I will be able to post a final review, for now I can’t really give much credit.

I stood on the sidelines trying to justify the price… big mistake. I am so glad I bought the R10. Several reasons. I don’t have the capability to create an indoor simulator. My usage will be on the driving range. Sometimes I struggle to see the ball, unless I have a clear blue sky as a backdrop. This is no longer a problem. I can see the shape and launch patterns of every shot- this in itself becomes a strong learning tool. I can now coach these tendencies into better shotmaking. Also, my carry and total distances can now accurately calibrate all my clubs. This is largely due to my purchase of the Awesome Golf software. Its compatibility of the R10 compares favorably with Trackman for accuracy. So now, compared to beating balls all day, my practice sessions have become purposeful. I had my doubts that the R10 could benefit a 74-year-old golfer. I now I wonder why I didn’t make this purchase sooner. I am really motivated to dial in the accuracy of my shots not only to lower my scores, but to bring the fun back into my game. I would recommend this product to anyone that wants to improve their game.
I have been using the launch monitor for a couple of weeks hitting into a net in the basement. It has already helped me improve my swing plane. The driving range feature makes practice more fun and the swing data makes practice more productive . It’s a great product.
Great product! Would definitely recommend if you want to learn more about your golf numbers and game. I had trouble reading chips at first but realized that I needed to move garmin closer. After that everything worked great. The garmin is definitely more geared for beginner/intermediate golfers. For the money this is a great product, I would highly recommend.
The R10 unit is fantastic. All the analytics I need to help improve. I added the 42,000 golf course app and enjoy hours of golfing anywhere with my buddies.
Not very pleased with this product not very accurate

I have been using it every day for last two weeks. I have on major problem... if you moving slightly before you hit it will not register the shot. Im not talking about practice swing. I mean if you wiggle the club head any in your set up. It will not pick up your shot. It will freeze up some times too and I will have to restart the unit. These 2 things are very annoying.

I have used this amazing R10 Golf monitor numerous times at the public golf range and at my own backyard range and all I can say is that it is worth every penny! I am an amateur and avid golfer who likes to know how well I am swinging my Driver, Woods, Hybrids and Irons and the distances for each club and the R10 will give you all the stats and more. The R10 will also let you play a game of 9 hole or 18 holes which is included or you can pay a monthly subscription to play actual golf courses worldwide should you choose to do so. I don't have the subscription and I am very happy with the what is included and I know you will to!
